It is only recently that we’ve (in the West) had a generation or two of the majority of us being raised without suffering direct experience of war.

Just as children who are abused often go on to be abusers in adulthood, I suspect societies that suffer war often become abusive post-war.

For sure. My feeling is that the root/ meta cause is anything where the illusion of control over your own destiny is taken away. A parent can beat a young child no matter what the child thinks about it; a bomb can blow your life apart no matter what you think about it. Having a feeling of agency is incredibly important to feeling part of society.

I expect a lot of the oppositional behaviour re: covid we’ve recently witnessed, have their roots in a need to assert an illusion of control, in much the same way toddlers assert control by refusing food or holding their bodily functions.
